Moving Dirt

It was beautiful day, this MLK Day, 2015! I was so thankful for the clear, sunny skies to plant trees bright and early this morning. There were a lot volunteers at the Trees Atlanta volunteer event; we started at 9:00am and were finished by about 10:30am. It was very meaningful to me to plants trees since my dad was always a “tree man”, and nurtured and transplanted tree saplings his entire life.

Volunteers included folks from Reynoldstown, Inman Park, Candler Park, and other areas of Atlanta. Theater Emory had a contingent present. There were several younger children getting in the tree-planting spirit as well. We had a demonstration from Trees Atlanta about how to dig the holes, prepare the tree roots, move the dirt in around the root ball, and make a berm, or doughnut, around the tree to keep in the moisture.

After leaving the tree-planting event, I stopped by the Elan 144 site. Brantley Street is blocked off for the construction project but there weren’t many people working today so I was able to take a few photos from the main entrance of the site on Brantley as well as from Wade Street.
